Sledding

We had another ice-and-snow storm blow through. This is certainly an introduction to a northern winter. Apparently, it usually doesn't get like this until the end of February.

I experienced my first snow day yesterday. Ironically, the class I missed was glaciology. I still had to be on campus to run samples and attempt to catch up on some work, but my productivity was severely truncated by an introduction to the northern art of sledding. Also known as a practical experience in snow compaction.















I also made my third snow angel. Certainly in the most snow.

It was a nice change to the general weekday routine. I went out with a bunch of people later in the evening and sledded in a man-made ravine. I have the bruises to prove it, too.
